The Dartmoor Crossing & Great Escape are two spectacular trail running events set in the wild and beautiful Dartmoor National Park, offering challenging courses for both seasoned and aspiring trail runners. The Dartmoor Crossing is a 33.5-mile ultramarathon that starts in the northern village of Belstone and takes runners on a scenic journey through the moor’s remote landscapes to the finish in Ivybridge. The Great Escape offers a shorter but equally rewarding 15.5-mile route, beginning in Princetown and following the final section of the ultramarathon course, including a stunning descent through the Erme Valley. Both races are fully waymarked, feature aid stations and medical support, and reward finishers with bespoke medals. Organized by OuterEdge Events, the race day atmosphere is enhanced by the event centre at Ivybridge Rugby Club, which provides amenities, camping options, and coach transport to start lines.
